Is Google Translator for Firefox safe?
Google Translator for Firefox opens selected text and current page URLs in Google Translate query strings.
When you translate selected text, the extension reads the highlighted text, including selections inside input fields, and opens translate.google.com/translate_t with that text in the URL. When you translate a full page, it opens translate.google.com/translate with the active tab URL in the query string.
